SALAAM
The month of Rabbi ul Awwal is almost amongst us....
the month the holy prophet 
was born...
is it another month Muslims argue whether celebrating his birth is allowed or bidah?
or are we going to get something out of this month?
isnt it the perfect time to highlight to the world how great the prophet was especially after the cartoon issue?
pls share your views

New Abu Ghraib images broadcast[/b]
An Australian TV channel has broadcast previously unpublished images showing apparent US abuse of prisoners in Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail in 2003.
The images on SBS TV are thought to be from the same source as those that caused an outcry around the world and led to several US troops being jailed.
The new images show "homicide, torture and sexual humiliation", SBS said.
